PG DRIVES TECHNOLOGY I-DRIVE TECHNICAL MANUAL – PROGRAMMING
7 General Parameters
7.1 Soft-Stop
This parameter selects whether the soft-stop facility is enabled. Soft-stop means that if you switch the control system off whilst
driving, the machine will steadily decelerate to a standstill.
You can turn this function On or Off.
If this function is On, you must ensure that the emergency stopping distance is within the
distance specified for the country in which the machine will be used.
7.2 Brake Time
This parameter sets the period of time between the controller detecting zero motor speed and the application of the solenoid
brake.
This value should be set long enough to ensure the machine doesn’t jerk or skid on a level surface, but short enough to minimize
roll-back or roll-forward on slopes.
You can set this between 0 and 200 in steps of 1, which roughly represent 10ms.
7.3 Output Voltage
This parameter sets the value of voltage applied to the motor when the throttle potentiometer is at the full drive position and the
relevant speed, forward or reverse, is set to 100%. This feature allows you to choose a motor voltage value such that the
machine’s top speed will remain constant all the time the battery voltage is above that value.
This value can be set between 20V and 42V in steps of 1V.
7.4 Status Output Type
This parameter matches the Status Output signal to the type of device used.
There are three programmable options.
TruCharge Suitable for Lamp and LED Status Indicators on Highside Drive connections and the TruCharge Status
Indicator.
Sink Suitable for Lamp and LED Status Indicators on Lowside Drive connections.
Analogue Suitable for Analogue 12V Status Indicators.
For details of the functionality of these settings and their associated configurations refer to
Chapter 2 Section 4.5.
7.5 Diagnostic Flash Sequence
This parameter sets the type of diagnostic flash sequence output by the controller.
There are three programmable options.
None No signal.
TruCharge TruCharge indication.
PG Sequence flashes that simulate the TruCharge indication.
For details of the TruCharge and Sequence indication, refer to
Chapter 1 Section 8.
